Answer 5

Answer 6

I'm left handed, as @NY,NY said I do that but I also write with my thumb touching the pencil sometimes.

Answer 7

it's just easier to have your thumb cross over the index finger and write.

Answer 8

but the only bad thing is that you get bumps on your middle finger.

Answer 9

The left handed people I have seen all write with their thumbs touching their pencils.

Answer 10

is this a math question? because if it is i'm going crazy

Answer 11

Ithink it's more of a study but I don't know anyone that writes without their thumb touching the pencil

Answer 12

yeah, it would be very difficult to write without a thumb.
unless you use a keyboard :)

Answer 13

It is not difficult.
With thumb, it's difficult.

Answer 14

The line of my thumb where it bends is always on the pencil perpendicularly.
My index finger lies on my pencil so that the tip of my finger is pressed against the pencil and the middle of my index finger is also perpendicular to the pencil.

lol.

Answer 15

so your thumb is actually touching the pencil and holding it against your hand and middle finger.
as i said it would be difficult to write without that thumb

Answer 16

Yeah! I create a crevice between my index and middle finger. The thumb pushes the pencil in there.

Answer 17

so how can left handers write without their thumb actually touching the pencil?

it's absurd!

Answer 18

All the left handed people, went to check how they write as soon as they read this question. It's a fact.
